Manual del Usuario / SF series / User’s Manual 13 SF-30A SF-221 SF-215 SF-112 LINE DRAWINGS 14 Manual del Usuario / SF series / User’s Manual INSTALLATION AND ACCESSORIES Connectors The passive models of D.A.S. SF series is designed to facilitate the connection for installations, so it has been provided with connectors NL4 type, standard for professional audio equipment. These terminals are connected in parallel, so that we can carry the amplified audio signal up to a device and we can forward it to the next box, very easily. The polarity of the connectors and other important information for proper connection is indicated on the labels. Switch to operating mode: BI-AMPLIFIED - PASSIVE SF-30A Amplifier The SF-30A is a self-powered subwoofer with an amplifier that it has the following features: 9 11 8 7 3 6 10 4 1 2 5 1) SIGNAL INPUT : XLR type input signal connectors. As the LOOP THRU connector, they are balanced with the following pin assignments: 1=GND (Ground). 2=(+) Non inverted input. 3=(-) Inverted input. 2) LOOP THRU : XLR type output signal connector for connecting several units together and sending them all the same input signal. 3) SIGNAL / LIMIT : Two color LED which indicates that there is signal presence if it shines green or indicates amplifier saturation and the amplifier limiter is activated, if it shines red. 4) IDENTIFY / COMMS : Orange LED that shines flashing when we push IDENTIFY (to identify the unit) or blink faster if there is communication with DASnetTM. 5) ON / PROTECT : Two color LED indicates that the unit is ON if it shines green and protection if it shines red. Manual del Usuario / SF series / User’s Manual 15 6) LPF PRESET : This push button allows the “LOW PASS FILTER” selection. The LED shining indicates the selected value between 50, 63, 80 or 100 Hz. 7) CARDIOID PRESET : This push button allows the “CARDIOID PRESET” selection. The LED shining indicates the selected value: OFF, 2 units and 3 units. 8) IN/OUT : Neutrik EtherCon connectors for audio+data input/output with DASnetTM. With the output connector we can interconnect several units. 9) Zone for user notes. 10) AC INPUT : Neutrik PowerCon TRUE1 mains connector. Only use this equipment with an appropriate mains cord. 11) ID DASNET : Label with identification number for DASnetTM. ON / OFF A sound system should be switched on sequentially. Switch on the self-powered units last in your sound system (switch on the subwoofer before the mid-high system). Switch on the sound sources such as CD players or turntables, then the mixer, then the processors, and finally the self-powered unit. If you have several units, it is recommended that you switch them on sequentially one at a time. Follow the inverse order when switching off, turning self-powered units off before any other element in the sound system. Disconnect the device by removing the mains connector from the mains socket. The mains connector and mains socket must always be freely accessible and never covered or blocked in any way. The models use a power cable equipped with a Neutrik PowerCon TRUE1 connector. Power can be daisy chained via the TRUE1 output connector (see details on product label). IMPORTANT: Do not disconnect the unit while in use. Ensure that the device is disconnected from the mains by observing that the ON LED is turned off. Please note that the ON LED can stay on for several seconds after the mains power has been disconnected. Overload indicator This device has a SIGNAL/LIMIT indicator. The red light indicates the signal is excessive. The indicator should not be lit continuously. This distorts the signal (quickly fatiguing your ears) and may damage the speakers. Equalisation The unit does not need extreme settings of equalisation to produce quality sound. Avoid high levels of gain on the equalisers. Gain values above +3 dB on a console’s EQ are not recommended. 16 Overheating This equipment does not normally overheat during normal conditions of use. When overheating occurs, the unit protects itself. You should then find out why and if necessary contact an authorised dealer for technical assistance. Normally it is enough just to let the unit cool down after you have corrected the problem so that the system functions properly again. Low mains voltage If mains voltage falls below the shutdown voltage for the unit, it will stop playing. When acceptable levels are regained, the unit will switch back on automatically. The SF-30A recognised the value of mains automatically. The unit works from 80V to 260V (both rms). Manual del Usuario / SF series / User’s Manual Cardioid Preset This unique feature facilitates the configuration of two or three units to create a cardioid response pattern. This is useful in situations where on-stage bass level projected from the subs needs to be kept to a minimum. To set-up a cardioid configuration with two stacked units, place the bottom unit facing the audience and the top box facing the stage. Set the controls for level, polarity and cut-off frequency identically on both units. Daisy-chain the signal from one unit to the other (do not activate the satellite output high-pass filter). Activate the Cardioid Preset button on the box facing the stage. This provides the level and phase adjustments necessary to cancel the rear projected sound waves “cleaning” the stage of unwanted bass. To assemble a cardioid configuration with three stacked units, the procedure is basically the same. Place the lower and top boxes facing the audience, the middle box facing the stage. Daisy-chain the signal, make sure the level, polarity and cut-off frequency are the same on all the boxes and lastly, activate the Cardioid Preset button on the box facing the stage.

The SIGNAL LED does not light up. 1 – The signal source is sending no signal. 2 – Defective cable. 1 – Check that the mixer or sound source is sending signal to the UNIT. 2 – Check that the cable from the sound source to the UNIT is connected correctly. Replace the cable if defective. Full power cannot be obtained. The LIMIT LED never lights up. 1 - The signal source does not have a hot enough output. 1 - If using a mixer, use the balanced output if available. Use a professional mixer with a hotter output. 2 - Try to cool the unit turning down the master of the mixer. 2 - If the connections are correct, It might be overheating Sound is distorted. The LIMIT LED is not on, or only lights up occasionally. 1 - The mixer or signal source is distorting. 1 - Turn mixer channel gains down. Check that none of your signal sources are distorting.

The goal is to allow the user to become familiar with the mechanical elements required to fly the acoustic system, as well as the safety measures to be taken during set-up and teardown. Only experienced installers with adequate knowledge of the equipment and local safety regulations should fly speaker boxes. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the systems to be flown (including flying accessories) comply with state and local regulations. The working load limits in this manual are the results of tests by independent laboratories. It is the user's responsibility to stay within safe limits. It is the user's responsibility to follow and comply with safety factors, resistance values, periodical supervisions and warnings given in this manual. Product improvement by means of research and development is on going at D.A.S. Specifications are subject to change without notice. To this date, there is no international standard regarding the flying of acoustic systems. However, it is common practice to apply 5:1 safety factors for enclosures and static elements. For slings and elements exposed to material fatigue due to friction and load variation the following ratios must be met; 5:1 for steel cable slings, 4:1 for steel chain slings and 7:1 polyester slings. Thus, an element with a breaking load limit of 1000 kg may be statically loaded with 200 kg (5:1 safety factor) and dynamically loaded with 142 Kg (7:1 safety factor). The load capacity, of each lift motor, should be correspond to a safety factor of 10:1. 2 x AX-SF3 M10x50 When flying a system, the working load must be lower than the resistance of each individual flying point in the enclosure, as well as each box. Hanging hardware should be regularly inspected and suspect units replaced if in doubt. This is important to avoid injury and absolutely no risks should be taken in this respect. It is highly recommended that you implement an inspection and maintenance program on flying elements, including reports to be filled out by the personnel that will carry out the inspections. Local regulations may exist that, in case of accident, may require you to present evidence of inspection reports and corrective actions after defects were found. 34 Manual del Usuario / SF series / User’s Manual M10 Washer DIN9021 Part Reference: 30006744 DIN7380 ANL-2 2 x ANL-2 Absolutely no risks should be taken with regards to public safety. ANL-2 When flying enclosures from ceiling support structures, extreme care should be taken to assure the load bearing capabilities of the structures so that the installation is absolutely safe. Do not fly enclosures from unsafe structures. Consult a certified professional if needed. All flying accessories that are not supplied by D.A.S. Audio are the user's responsibility. Use at your own risk. To hang the units, the Allen-head screws must be removed and replaced by M10 eyebolts on one side of the enclosure. Each rigging point has 200 kg (440 lb) working load limit. Then choose the slings or chains of required load resistance and length, bearing in mind that the length difference between the front and back slings or chains will determine the vertical orientation. Alternatively, the back bottom eyebolt points can be used to provide vertical orientation. The ANL-2 set is an optional set of four eyebolts and four carabiners. (Dimensions are in milimetres). Each ANL-2 eyebolt has a rated working load of 200 kg. (440 lb). Each ANL-2 carabiner has a working load of 330 kg (726 lb). If using other hardware, make sure it is rated to handle the required load. When using eyebolts it is important to bear in mind that the rated working load is only true for a load applied in the plane of the eye, and is significantly reduced for other angles. The drawing illustrates the concept. The table shows the variation of the working load as a function of the load angle. In the case of the ANL-2 eyebolt, this means that the 200 kg working load becomes 60 kg at 45 degrees. Do not use eyebolt flying if the load angle is higher than 45 degrees. Note: As always, when we handle heavy loads, we should wear appropriate clothing and protective elements such as gloves, safety shoes, etc. % Working load 0 Degrees 30 Degrees 45 Degrees More than 45 Degrees 100% 65% 30% 25% Manual del Usuario / SF series / User’s Manual 35 ANNEX I : Table for cable selection This table shows the power loss in % and dB, for different cable lengths and sections shown. It is recommended that the losses do not exceed 30% in any case (around 3dB). Although it is recommended minimizing losses, the maximum acceptable losses are usually around 15% (approximately 1.4dB). 36 Manual del Usuario / SF series / User’s Manual ANNEX II : Line connections: unbalanced and balanced There are two basic ways to transport an audio signal with microphone or line level: Unbalanced line: Utilising a two conductor cable, it transports the signal as the voltage between them. Electromagnetic interference can get added to the signal as undesired noise. Connectors that carry unbalanced signals have two pins, such as RCA (Phono) and ¼” (6.35mm, often referred to as jack) mono. 3 pin connector such as XLR (Cannon) may also carry unbalanced signals if one of the pins is unused. Balanced line: Utilising a three conductor cable, one of them acts as a shield against electromagnetic noise and is the ground conductor. The other two have the same voltage with respect to the ground conductor but with opposite signs. The noise that cannot be rejected by the shield affects both signal conductors in the same way. At the device’s input the two signals get summed with opposite sign, so that noise is cancelled out while the programme signal doubles in level. Most professional audio devices use balanced inputs and outputs. Connectors that can carry balanced signal have three pins, such as XLR (Cannon) and ¼” (6.35mm) stereo. The graphs that follow show the recommended connection with different types of connectors to balanced processor or amplifier inputs. The connectors on the left-hand side come from a signal source, and the ones on the right hand side go to the inputs of the processor or amplifier. Note that on the unbalanced connectors on the left-hand side, two terminals are joined inside the connector. If hum occurs with balanced to balanced connections, try disconnecting the sleeve (ground) on the input connector. Note that the illustrations show what should be connected to what, but that pin locations on an actual XLR connector are different. Also, pin 2 hot is assumed on XLR connectors. Manual del Usuario / SF series / User’s Manual 37 ANNEX III : DASnet cables With each system, cabling and patch panels are provided. It is very important to use the system with the intended cables to prevent electromagnetic interferences between the analog audio signal, the DASnet data and the power. Be sure to check the specifications provided by the cable manufacturer. It is also especially important when installing connectors yourself, to note that when termination is not accurate, a cable will be unable to achieve its maximum performance and could have interferences. There are 4 different types of cables. - The main feeds which include power and a STP, CAT7 cable. These cables are named eCP_xx (xx refers to cable length). - The links between cabinets (aero40A/Convert15A/LX-218CAnet), which are STP CAT7 cables. Cable code eC_09 - Power Links between cabinets.Cable code Plink1_09 - Links for RoadNet series. Power+STP CAT7. eCPk_1/eCPk_5 Important The main feed cable eCP_xx has the following structure: Jacket STP CAT 7 cable with Aluminium Shield for each individual pair and a main aluminium Shield.
